Hey there fellow UPSers:
Hypothetically speaking and for a pure intellectual discussion, I am asking:"Is it possible to disband the Union at UPS, and would it be beneficial in the long run?"
From a theoretical perspective:
Any company should strive to maximize growth aka PROFIT. Employees should be treated fairly, and fulfill duties in accordance with the Job Description. In any business you will always have someone to answer to, UPS is no different. Hence we have management, and again UPS's management team is like everyone else s; they are trying to make ends meet.
I guess I'm not quite sure where I am going with this, but it seems to me that UPS is suffering because of the Union.
Please correct me if I am wrong, educate me, as I am trying to understand the need for Unions in today's world. I will come to work regardless of whether I'm in the Union or not. The job needs to get done with or without a Union.
Again, please enrich my knowledge of the need of the Union at UPS; Would the employees be much worst off without Union Representation?
What about management? Shouldn't management (including PT sups) receive a higher salary based on their job description and overall bigger range of responsibilities they have compared to the 'line' worker.
I really do not understand the need for them. Again, this is the 21st century and many things have changed from the 70's and 80's, do we really need them? Would the whole operation not work without the Unions?
